"The survey of 1,284 registered voters taken between Sept. 2-6 found that Mamdani, a democratic socialist assembly member, holds a four-point advantage over Cuomo among likely voters (48% to 44%) playing out what could happen if both incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa drop out. Cuomo would capture the vast majority of both Adams' and Sliwa's current support and win a majority of voters over forty-five, Siena Research Institute Director Don Levy said. Mamdani's overwhelming 22-point lead would shrink to four points."
"Adams has spent the past week trying to tamp down multiple published reports that he is in conversations with President Trump's top advisers about nabbing a job in the federal administration in exchange for ending his uphill reelection bid. On Friday, the mayor called reporters up to Gracie Mansion to defiantly insist he is staying in the race. That came hours after his campaign issued a statement in which Adams indicated he would remain a candidate, but also said, I will always listen if called to serve our country."
A Siena College/New York Times poll of 1,284 registered voters (Sept. 2-6) finds Zohran Mamdani leading former Gov. Andrew Cuomo 48% to 44% among likely voters in a hypothetical one-on-one matchup. Mamdani's current 22-point advantage would shrink to a four-point lead if Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa left the race. Pollsters project Cuomo would capture the vast majority of Adams' and Sliwa's supporters and win a majority of voters over age forty-five. Cuomo and Adams both run on independent ballot lines. Adams has publicly denied plans to end his campaign despite reports of talks about a federal position.
